Hey everyone,

Since I have been wanted to build an AR-15 for a while now I have lurked here researching but just registered.  Hopefully I am posting this in the correct forum.

With the recent "panic" I decided I should get started and went ahead and pulled the trigger on a PSA stripped lower and DD LPK.  I am pretty confident I won't have trouble putting it together with the guides here and a friend that has done it before.

The upper is a different animal though.  Basically I think I have three options: 1) Buy a completed upper 2) Buy an action block,  armorer’s wrench, and other tools and do it myself 3) Have a gunsmith put the parts together for me.

Since I am pretty sure this will be my only build (I know I know, no one ever build just one) I would really like to assemble the upper with the parts I want, but I want it put together the right way.  So right now, I am leaning towards a gunsmith.  Any idea how much that would run, or how to find a quality gunsmith?

Also, if anyone is interested or has any suggestions on my components, this is what I am hoping to put together as I find the parts.  My budget is pretty flexible, and I am in no rush since as I said, I want this build to be exactly what I want:

-PSA stripped lower
-DD LPK
-Vitor A5
-Magpul MOE
-Viltor MUR or Rainier ultramatch upper
-BCM BFH 14.5" Mid Length (LIGHT WEIGHT) Barrel
-Centurion carbine cutout rail
-BCM complete BCG and CH
-Magpul RVG

Thanks for the help!
